I want to make one last point here - Kylo Ren is an absolute monster. He's the guy getting the big MVP highlights and fame in this setup. Until just a few days ago, I wasn't impressed with him like most. I had him at 6* - all skills at 3. Had his 100 shards farmed though. Once I started putting around with this and adding up the possible damage from 3 AOEs though with offense up and then comparing that to health numbers for Jinn / FOTP / Poe, etc. I started to push him up gradually. Once I saw what he could do, I bit the bullet on 7* him and got his skills to 5/7/6/6. Just some examples:
- Kylo with Sid lead and O up will AOE crit for almost 5k damage.
- His outrage when he's below 50% and with O up I've seen go for 15k on a crit
- His basic, just on a counter attack, is doing about 4.7k damage on a crit
The guy really has an amazing kit that's very versatile once his offense is boosted.
His counter is also perfect for these high damage / lower health teams. Reason is that he's pretty tanky - so he's generally going to live to get off his aoe and have the counter setup. The high damage toons though kill other stuff - this leaves generally fewer targets standing which make it more likely they will target Kylo. The AI generally does pretty well not to target Old Ben and kill him early, so if the AI kills Poggle and Sid for example, well you're looking at hitting Kylo, Old Ben, or Phasma. After the round 1 of AOE the enemy is pretty well wounded as you can see. If they attack Kylo, he finishes them off one by one with his counter. He almost did that to all 5 toons in one match actually. He ran out of health on the 4th hit as it was a hit+assist+bonus attack, but it was impressive. He's definitely a nice piece to have in the toolkit. He's not OP (not sure anything is truly OP anymore), but he can be very very good. Also, he gets +15% damage increase at the next cap to finish off his attacking skills (outrage and lash out). He should just get better at that level and be pretty deadly end game.
